Several people on the BUGTRAQ mailinglist has reported that Bind 9.1 is crashing if someone do a "nmap -O -sT proven" on the server. Nothing official from ISC.org or CERT has been announced since the last bug report for Bind 8.2.2-P7 was filed.
It should be noted that this crash is unreproducible by others - I tried it on three different computers, running two different operating systems (Linux & FreeBSD) with no crashes. About a dozen other have had experiences similar to mine, with a wider range of operating systems than I am able to test (NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, etc). And no, I don't speak for ISC - just reporting my own experiences and observations from BugTraq. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche pbrutsch () tux creighton edu GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6gMOQ/ZTSZFDeHPwRAskCAKCyRKEY/CHGRyY8Jzts1oAAgDseVACglllq TnQABzt0b0OrXdKI0ukhc5w= =WxHD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
